house Commission has received letter from
Frank NJ. johnson and w. S. jackson, Of
Streator, who were on the passenger train
going south on the Streator branch of the
Wabash railroad, which was wrecked be-
tween Conville and Manville station on

gers over on it's side.
"They say the cause was said to be a
broken rail, but that an examination shows
that the ties were too rotten to hold spike.
They also sent a piece of
rail about 20 inches long by
express as a sample of the rails in use be-
tween Streator and Fairburg. Its face is
worn smooth or broken completely off,
leaving only the narrow part which sup
ports the top of the rail for the train to run
over In conclusion the letter says the road
is no longer fit to be used for railroad.
The commissioner will look into the merits
of the complaint at an early day."
